I feel sorry for people who pay over list price for any watch

Dec 31, 2013,10:04 AM
 

It's just plain dumb IMO.

Regarding these bronze Panerai's, I predict the value of these models will plummet when Panerai makes more Bronzo's in the future.  I just don't see why this PAM507 is a "hot" model because it isn't for me.  It's just any other normal Panerai watch in my eyes.

The PAM507 is a nice watch but not a watch I would go out and sell my liver to get.  In fact, I'd only buy it at a discount to retail price because, from my own experience, I don't see it having any of the main characteristics of becoming a "collectible" Panerai.

Cheers,
Anthony

Bronze Rush...

I did a simple addition and there are currently 59 Panerai boutiques across the globe. The new Pam 507 is limited to 1000 pieces, a special edition, assuming it's available primarily to boutique, that's about 16 pieces to a boutique. Here in HK, the wait ...

Hello Ian, Some people see watches as a good and quick way to make money. Of course they have the right to do so, but i ignore them. i own watches because of the emotions they make me feel and also because of their technical aspects. I want to feel my hea...

for ages now... Limited edition AP offshores, desirable PP's, special Panerai and Rolex Daytona, at one point or the others, all commanded a premium above the list price and given the transparency of pricings and ease of transportation, they all became ta...

I'd rather sell a kidney , it's more money, an established market so price is easier to negotiate, and you still live at he end of it ebbs use you have two, :) Then the 507 makes more sense -and worth the premium! Best Imran

Not sure if it's fair to call it dumb...

As we all know, list price is nothing but a figure set by the manufacturer and it does NOT necessarily reflect the fair market price. Moreover, there can be many factors that affects the desirability of a certain piece hence the 'fair' market price. As su... 

I agree with that but I'll always stick with my opinion on this subject

I'll never pay over retail price for anything. That's just one of my principles. If it's a "hot" model and I can't get it for list price, then I'll pass on the model. - AT

My bet is there will be more bronze models

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : January 2nd, 2014-09:24
If I had to "bet it all" on either way, I'd bet that there will be more. Given Panerai's history of making more editions, I think the odds would be in my favor. - AT

quick profit for the new Bronzo 507

Normally, even VIP should not be getting more than one unit of allotment. If the 'VIP' want to sell his / her allotment for a profit, I guess there is no law against such. I guess what I am saying is, LET THE MARKET MECHANICS in working itself out!!! pete...
